Originally published in 1992, Problem Solving in Recreation and Parks, Third Edition is a practical guide that answers routine questions for the park administrator. It is bsed on experience and contains 100 case studies that illustrate what others have done in similar situations. A model of management is also presented that shows the administrator a proven method for conducting the recreatinal program at all levels of responsibility. The reasons for failure and the keys to success are described in clear terms that make problem solving a creative challenge, rather than a tiresome or agonizing chore.

To solve the critical problems facing the recreation and park profession, its leaders must become effective problem solvers. - Joseph J. Bannon
